How the Reunion Works!
An annual event and a family this large cannot function on it's own, which is why many people are involved in keeping the family connected and planning the Bundy Reunion.
Each of the nine children listed on the HISTORY page has at least one descendant who is elected by the other family members as a representative, or "head of family".
These 9 representatives form a committee, ensuring that each family has a voice.
To keep things running smoothly, there is also a Reunion President who is elected during the Reunion. They serve a 4-year term (2 years as Vice President and 2 years as President), overseeing the planning and organization of the reunion each year.
Below, you can learn more about each position and the committee:
